Optics has become one of the most dynamic fields of science since
the first volume of Progress in Optics was published forty years
ago. At the time of inception of this series, the first lasers were
only just becoming operational, holography was in its infancy,
subjects such as fiber optics, integrated optics and
optoelectronics did not exist and quantum optics was the domain of
only a few physicists. The term photonics had not yet been coined.
Today these fields are flourishing and have become areas of
specialization for many science and engineering students as well as
numerous research workers and engineers throughout the world.
The awarding of Nobel prizes to seven physicists over the last
twenty years has recognized advances in these fields. The volumes
in this series now contain 240 review articles by distinguished
research workers, which have become permanent records for many
important developments. They have helped optical scientists and
optical engineers to stay abreast of their fields. There is no sign
that developments in optics are slowing down or becoming less
interesting. We confidently expect that, just like their
predecessors, future volumes of Progress in Optics will faithfully
record the most important advances that are being made in optics
and related fields.
The articles in this volume 43 cover a broad range of subjects,
of interest to scientists concerned with optical theory or with
optical devices.
